Pollack Pete 2,273 #1 Posted November 30, 2014 Finally got the ambition a few days ago to start working on my 702 with HY-2 hydraulic lift.I guess it hasn't run in many years.Plus it lived outdoors.All the normal things wrong.Tranny full of water.Fan gear on the steering broken,Rear hub halfmoon keys just about worn off.Carb full of varnish.I was going to start buying some needed parts,but decided to drag my other 702 into the shop today.Manual lift on this one.Real nice gear-drive RD mowere deck too.Plus all good steering components.Got the mower deck,gas tank and steering column off since I've taken the pics.Some people will probably think I'm restoring the wrong one,but the one with the hydraulic lift came from an old friend .I thought I'd share with you guys here.Enjoy the pics.Love these little red tractors. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,127 #5 Posted November 30, 2014 Popped off on carb cleaner only...couldn't get fuel to run through it. Damn rope start is a PITA...will have to go through the carb before I try again. But, I did hear it run today...that was my goal...good luck with the 702. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
